SERVICES
Emergency Anesthesia Services
Our Anesthesia team is committed to providing round the clock anesthesia services. We are capable of handling emergency cases by providing anesthesia, as well as advanced care and life-support to critically ill patients requiring immediate surgery. We provide anesthesia to complex adult and pediatric trauma cases.
Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU)
After surgery, you will be sent to the PACU to recover and wake up. PACU is a critical care unit where your blood pressure, pulse, breathing, oxygen level will be monitored. While the anesthetic medication levels fall, you may experience nausea, chills, pain and the throat may feel dry due to the breathing tube that was used. Our team provides comfort and helps you with these issues.
You will remain here for 1 to 3 hours depending on the type of surgery, complications and your medical history. Our PACU team is skilled in recognizing and managing problems that may arise in the post-operative period.
Most people will remember their recovery period and we want this experience to be pleasant for you.
Pre-anesthesia Clinic
Patients scheduled for surgery will be evaluated by our Pre-anesthesia team. Your medical condition, medications, fitness for surgery and special needs will be assessed, either over phone or at the hospital. Any testing (blood tests, ECG, X-rays) you require prior to surgery, will be completed. If you are travelling from another city, you may be asked to come a day early to complete testing or given the option to do it in your hometown.
Appropriate Pre-anesthesia evaluation will help ensure a safer surgical journey with fewer hassles.
Pain Medicine
Our Pain Medicine team consists of doctors (anesthesia, orthopedics, neurology), nurses and physical therapists. We focus on the diagnosis and management of chronic pain, including chronic headaches, neuropathic pain and other pain (neck, back, joints).
Pain Medicine specialists listen carefully to your problem and develop a comprehensive personalized treatment plan suitable for you.
Our multidisciplinary team may use a combination of medications, exercises, regional anesthesia blocks, epidural catheter technique, massage, interferential therapy and other methods. We are committed to reducing your pain and improving your quality of life.
Types of Anesthesia
All types anesthesia are administered to keep you comfortable and pain-free during surgery, medical procedures and tests. The type you receive will depend on the type of procedure, your health and personal preference.
There are different types of anesthesia that include:
General Anesthesia (GA)
This is used for major operations such as knee and hip replacements and heart surgeries. GA is medicine administered through a mask or an IV placed in the vein. You will remain unconscious during the procedure, and breathe through a tube placed in your throat. Our anesthesiologist will monitor your blood pressure, heart rate and breathing.
Regional Anesthesia (RA)
RA includes spinal blocks and epidurals. An epidural is the most common type of pain control method used for labor and delivery. It allows the mother to remain awake and push, while the pain is numbed. The spinal block is used for cesarean deliveries, allowing the doctor to deliver the baby without causing pain to the mother. This way the baby is not exposed to high doses of sedating medications
Conscious Sedation (CS)
Conscious or Intravenous (IV) Sedation is used for minimally invasive procedures. It will reduce pain and help you feel relaxed. You will remain awake, but may not remember the procedure.
